《Shards of Sugar (2022 - x) - [Poetry By Eclipse 3]》20.) i'm faded & jaded (prose)
Advertisement
Hello words, I've come to create you again, because I've got nothing else I'd want to do right now.
My soul is as pale as the snow, beginning to lose the life I once held so keenly.
I feel like a miserable, wet, burnt sienna leaf on the grass, obliged to be here only to slowly die out.
The sunlight once poured its joyous way into my room but now it's weak and fading like my will to go on.
Weekends here are so slow and uneventful,
three flatmates planning events without me like I'm not nearby.
Feel like a star amongst foreign moons with a distant sun I'll never know the name of,
digital souls aren't the same, don't you see?
I've had enough of lethargy on Saturdays,
I've had enough of dying sunlight,
I've had a passion for screaming my soul out but I can't do that here.
Living life my way, failing to care about tradition or the sheep or the clones or whoever or whatever.
Still some semblance of happiness.
Got to do this, then that, then whatever, then nothing just to repeat the wretched cycle that I've had enough of riding on.
Oh time, how does my dagger feel in your abdomen?
Do you like it when I twist it, or when I push it in deeper?
Should I pull it out to stab you with it again?
Do I do it better than they do?
I don't lay down, don't sleep until post-midnight, soul pale, heart unbothered, feel grey again.
If you can't see them then just scream "everybody!"
I don't want nor need anybody!
Time likes going on like I do,
getting on with it, like I do,
likes the pain like I do,
so I try to kill it, I attempt to.

But some days I'm better at killing time than others, but time is immortal, that doesn't stop us from trying.
Doesn't help us from fading like ghosts whose souls once belonged here, somewhere in their rotting corpses.
If I ride off the cliff will you show me what life is?
Can't you see I'm faded and jaded?
Weakly holding onto the blade,
don't believe in rose quartz or jade,
all I do on these days is stay stuck in the shade,
and slowly, like a pale rainbow, fade.
I'm faded and jaded.

Sexy Sect Babes
“One in a billion.” Jack kept repeating the mantra in his head. “One in a billion.” That was the number the Omni-Corps liked to cite whenever someone stepped onto one trans-mat pad and then simply… never stepped off the other. “Safer than a car,” he repeated as he slogged through the snow, his mining overalls doing at least a passable job of keeping out the cold as he brushed aside a tree branch. “Safer than a plane. Or a starship. Safest form of transport in the Star League.” He slammed his fist into a nearby tree, exo-empowered strength shattering it into little more than scattered bark and kindling. “Yeah, well I never heard of a car ride stranding some prick in another dimension!” He roared, his voice echoing through the seemingly endless forest around him. Then he kept marching. He’d seen the fire off in the distance. And given all the snow around, he sincerely doubted it was natural. Which left the unnatural. Which meant people. He hoped. Because even if the trans-mat had screwed up, he doubted it had dumped him too far off the central finite curve. The fact that the air was breathable and that he could recognize the trees around him as oak told him that much. And if the dimension he was in had trees native to Earth, chances are it would have animals too. Of which humans would hopefully be no exception. “Because I’ll be damned if I spend the rest of my days talking to goddamn squirrels.” No, if there were humans on this mudball, he was going to find them. One way or another.
